🚀 ScaffoldX — Generate Production Code in Seconds

Stop wasting hours on boilerplate. Scaffold any project with one command.

Why ScaffoldX?

Every project starts the same way — npm init, install dependencies, configure TypeScript, set up Tailwind, create folder structure... It takes 30+ minutes before you write a single line of actual code.

ScaffoldX does all of that in 3 seconds.

npx scaffoldx
# Choose template → Enter project name → Done!
